TO BEGIN WORK AT ONCE.

Large Sale of Real Estate On Jackson
 And Chapel Streets Dwelling
 Houses To Be Erected-The Whole
 Transaction To Involve About $75,OOO.
 Yesterday afternoon a very large trans fer of real estate was received at the town clerks office. It is the most encouraging sale that has taken place in the last five years, as the property is to be built right away.
 Selectman William S. Beecher, with whom were associated William A. Lincoln and John M. Leonard, purchased 370 feet on Jackson street, by 120 feet on Lombard.
 Mir. Beecher then bought the Burton Mansfield property, corner of Chapel and Orchard streets, 202x150 feet. In this pur- chase he had associated with him John N. Leonard.
 This property has not been purchased with the i'd ca that it is to remain idle, but there are going to be improvements commenced immediately. MT. Beecher said last night that work will be begun on the Jackson street property this morning, if it does moi rain, in erecting twelve frame dwelling houses. Men were being engaged last night
 On the Chapel street property work will not be commenced so soon, but will be shortly. Five handsome dwellings are to be erected here, but just what the plan or style of them is has not yet been decided on The whole transaction, including the sale of the property, and the erection of the dwellings will involve about $75, 900. There have been many sales of real estate, but none lately where the purchasers meant business more than MT. Beecher and his associates. The broker in the transaction was William H. H. Hewitt. -ct

A CROWD PRESENT
At the Sale of Horses at Hamilton Park
 Yesterday-The LassO Throwing Ex-

Yesterday-The LassO Throwing Ex-
 hIbft1On.
 The auction of horses at Hamilton Park yesterday attracted the attention of large number of buyers and as large a number of spectators. Before the sale commenced an exhibition of lasso throwing was given by Sinforoso Guerrero and Romolo Petdet, who are certainly experts at throwing the lasso. These fellows would throw their lassos over the head of any particular horse when the horse was running at full speed and sur- rounded by several others. At several other times later in the day the men amused them selves by throwing their lassos at dogs and urchins, capturing them easily.
 The first horse sold brought $102.5 50, the next $1oO. Prices gradually decreased until near the close of the sale, when several horses sold for $50 each. Several buyers disposed of their purchases immediately after the auctioneer sold them at five and ten dollars advance Some of the horses would bear better recommends than they were given by the auctioneer. A few of them that were not warranted broke to the saddle were found to be very gentle and tractable when they were saddled and ridden away after the sale. few of the colts that were not halter DEoKe Inauo sono sPor6 Dy tnelr jumping and rearing when the halters were put on them for the first time. Three boys led one of the colts by a long rope through Elm street, until the pony, evidently disgusted, bolted and refused to move an inch. The boys who were tugging at the rope evidently knew of no way to get the pony to move along until one of the by- islanders shouted, " Let her go, Gallagher P when the pony ,who was presumably unused to such slang, started immediately.
 Several of the horse dealers who were present said that this drove of horses was a much better one than some droves that have been sold here in similar manner. One or more of the ponies that were harnessed after the sale were found to be quite gentle. It is presumed that with proper treatment the horses will learn readily.

WONDERFUL INCREASE IN VALUE

A Tract Of Land i'm California Hardly
 Worth COnteSG1nG for Ten Y ears Ago
 Now Valued at one Thousand
 Dollars Per Aere-The Owner v1s-
 ItIng i'm This City.
 Mrs. J. T. Gower and daughter, who have been visiting relatives and friends in this city for some time, have returned to their home in Los Angeles City, Cal. Mrs. Covers husband, who died seven years ago, left small tract of land which at that time could not be sold The land was valued at a very small amount. MT. Gower had fought for it's possession for ten years against a rail road company, who were determined if pos sible to get the land away from him. In this they were unsuccessful. Of late land in that section of the country has experien ced 8 boom and now the prospects are that $10O, 900 can be realized from the one hundred and fifty acres which belong to Mrs. Gower and which ten years ago was hardly worth cons testing for. Mrs. Gower has sold seventy two acres for $2S, ,000, and she was offered $500 for the remainder of the land, which she refused, and the land is now worth $1, ,0OO per acre.
 This is an excellent illustration of the in crease in the value of property in that sec tion during the last three or four years.
